Tiger Woods is setting his sights on a third consecutive Golf Open Championship victory. Confirmation of his entry for the Open at Carnoustie gives him the chance to become the first player to claim three-in-a-row since Australian Peter Thomson was unbeaten from 1954-1956.

Victories at St Andrews in 2005 and last year at Hoylake have given Woods the chance to join a short list of only four golf players who have won the golf Open Championship three times in as many years. He was also the championship winner over the Old Course at St Andrews in 2000.

The West Indies cricket team will tour England from 17 May to 7 July 2007. The tour will include four Tests, two Twenty20 international matches and three One-day Internationals.

The fourth test takes place at Riverside Cricket Ground, Chester-le-Street starting on Friday 15th June.
